WebChess II Game Page

( games have been started since )
There are 3 forms below. The first form lets you start a new game (and wait
for an opponent) or join a waiting opponent (if there are any). The second
form lets you watch any game currently in progress. The third form lets
you Jump back into a game that you have been unintentionally expelled from.

To play someone who is waiting for an opponent, select their name from the
list of "Waiting Players", enter your own name in the appropriate area,
then press the Go! button.

If there is nobody to play against, and there are empty tables, check the
Start a new game box, enter your name, and press the Go! button.

Things to remember

Since a Web page is static, you can't receive updates of the screen
without "reloading" the page.

To "reload" a page, ALWAYS select a link on the current
page. Using the "reload" option of your browser isn't guaranteed to work
correctly, and may either generate a Token Error, or not update the
information like you want.

Form 1: Sign up to play

Choose either:

One of the Waiting Players:

Or click here to start a new game

Please enter your name:
Please enter your email address (optional):
Please rate your playing level (so that people choosing a waiting
person to play against can try and pick someone closer to their own level):

If you are using a graphical browser, you may choose between using
Images or Text when displaying the chess board. Using Text will make
displaying the board much faster, but is a more confusing
format (in my opinion). Select either Images or Text

Form 2: Just watch

Select a match from the list below to watch, and press the Watch 'Em button
to see their current board. Keep reloading the board to watch the game
progress.

Form 3: Use your password to re-join a game

If you were ousted from a game for some reason - Token Error 1, your computer
died, your browser died, etc - you may re-join your game provided that your
opponent hasn't Quit, and that your game hasn't reached the 1-hour time limit.
Just enter your password below, and select the Jump In
button.
